8 Questions You Should Ask Before Buying Your New Sofa

When it comes to purchasing a new sofa, it’s important to make an informed decision that meets your lifestyle, space, and style needs. At Mia Stanza, a family-run business, we specialize in helping our customers find the perfect sofa by offering unparalleled customisation options, expert advice, and a personal touch you won’t find in big stores. Here are eight key questions to ask before buying your new sofa, along with how we at Mia Stanza can help answer them.

1. What Size Sofa Do I Need?

Start by measuring your space to ensure the sofa you choose will fit perfectly. Consider the size of your room, existing furniture, and how many people you’d like it to accommodate.

At Mia Stanza, we offer a variety of modular ranges from brands like Fama, Calia Italia, and Sits. These allow you to create the right size and shape for your space, whether you need a compact two-seater or a sprawling corner sofa.

2. What Shape Works Best for My Space?

From traditional two- and three-seaters to L-shaped or U-shaped modular sofas, the shape of your sofa can impact the functionality and flow of your room.

Our modular designs give you the flexibility to build a sofa that suits your lifestyle and layout perfectly. Whether it’s for a snug or a large cinema room, we can help you design the perfect configuration.

3. What Style Matches My Home Décor?

A sofa should complement the overall aesthetic of your home. Whether you prefer contemporary, modern, or classic designs, we can help you find a sofa that matches your style.

Mia Stanza offers hundreds of fabric and leather options so you can create a sofa in the colour and material of your choice. Plus, our in-store 3D simulator allows you to see your design before making a commitment.

4. What Fabric or Material Should I Choose?

Choosing the right material is crucial for both comfort and practicality. Do you need something hardwearing for a busy household, or do you want a luxurious velvet for a touch of elegance?

We provide durable options like AquaClean fabrics, which make cleaning and maintenance a breeze. Additionally, we offer fabric samples so you can see how they look in the lighting of your home before deciding.

5. Do I Need Extra Features Like Recliners or Sofa Beds?

Think about how you plan to use your sofa. Do you need recliners for ultimate relaxation or a sofa bed for overnight guests?

Our ranges include a variety of recliner options to suit your needs, ensuring you’ll find the perfect sofa for chilling out or entertaining visitors.

6. How Long Will It Take to Get My Sofa?

Delivery times can vary significantly between brands and retailers. While customisation often means longer wait times, this isn’t always the case.

At Mia Stanza, we pride ourselves on offering fast delivery times, even with our extensive customisation options. Fama sofas are typically delivered within 6-8 weeks, and Calia Italia and Sits sofas within approximately 8 weeks.

7. What Kind of Warranty Is Offered?

A warranty reflects the confidence a manufacturer has in their product. Knowing what is covered can provide peace of mind for years to come.

Fama offers lifetime frame warranties, a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. We’ll ensure you understand all warranty details for your chosen sofa.

8. What’s the Customer Experience Like?

Finally, consider the level of service and support you’ll receive. Will the retailer help you through the design process? Do they provide personalised advice?
